Working safely is in the interest and concern of all staff – both the employers and employees. Although most of the legal duties fall to the employer. Health and Safety Law is one of the few pieces of legislation that places duties on the employee as well. There are three reasons for managing risk at work that bring benefit for all concerned – moral; not causing harm to work colleagues, legislative; the law requires it! And finally, financial; all accidents bear a cost to both parties.
Workers have an expectation to go home at the end of the working day not having been injured by any workplace activity. Most workers feel that accidents are something that only happens to other people. The reality is that too many workers are coming to harm by not observing health and safety laws and not working in safe systems of work. That’s where our working safely course can help.
The course covers why we should work safely, defines hazards and risks, identifies common hazards, improves safety performance, and protects the environment. Training is a big part of changing attitudes towards taking risks in the workplace and can make a real difference.
This course is aimed at anyone who undertakes work at height or employs people who regularly work at height.
The term “work at height” applies to a wide range of situations, ranging from the obvious ones like working on platforms, ladders, scaffolds, or stages, to working alongside deep trenches. This is because the crucial thing to understand about working at height is that it’s not how far you climb, but how far you can fall. “Falls” doesn’t just mean people falling from heights. If materials or equipment fall, that will obviously present an equally dangerous hazard to anyone below.
All working at height situations are cover by health and safety legislation. Chief among these is the Work at Height Regulations 2005. These regulations confer legal duties on employers and employees to assess, control, and minimize risks and hazards from work at height. This course covers topics including the dangers of working at height, the regulations, the hierarchy of controls, assessing risk, and much more.
Manual handling, or to be accurate, incorrect manual handling, is one of the most common causes of injury at work. To try and combat manual handling problems, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations were introduced.
The Regulations lay out duties for both employees and employers. They give a general requirement that employees must be trained to manually handle correctly including the use of any equipment their employer provides to handle loads safely.
Current legislation, The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, applies to all workplaces regardless of the number of employees and requires employers to provide adequate training in fire awareness for all members of their staff.
Our online fire safety training courses are aimed at all employees to assist them in identifying and reducing the risk that fire presents in the workplace. It is cost-effective for employers to fulfill their legal obligation to provide their employees with the necessary understanding of fire awareness.
These courses are aimed at users of display screen equipment (DSE) and those responsible for assessing display screen equipment. A ‘user’, is anyone who regularly uses display screen equipment for a significant part of their normal work. In practice, if you use display screen equipment continuously for more than one hour a day, then you’re a “user.” So what do we mean by display screen equipment?
The first thing most people think of is a computer monitor. But that’s not the only thing it refers to. Display screen equipment could also mean laptops, tablet PCs, televisions, smartphones, CNC control pads, portable diagnostic screens, or equipment containing cathode ray tubes, or CRTs. The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations contain special directives covering DSE safety. Both employers and employee-users have responsibilities under the legislation.
These courses fulfill your statutory training obligations and cover, among other things, the correct way to set up and use your display screen equipment safely. Reducing the risk of work-related conditions.
This course covers what you need to know about the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH). It’s aimed at anyone who is exposed to substances hazardous to health at work, as well as line managers with responsibility for such people. So what do we mean by “substances hazardous to health”?
In legal terms, these are substances that are classified as “very toxic, toxic, harmful, corrosive, or irritant” under the Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (CLP). This was a new regulation that came into force in January 2009, dovetailing with a set of regulations called REACH. REACH is a European Union regulation concerning the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals, which came into force on June 1st, 2007. One of the main aims of REACH is to provide a high level of protection for human health and the environment from the use of chemicals.
This course is aimed at anyone who uses abrasive wheels or employs people who use abrasive wheels as part of their work.
There is a wide range of tools and processes that use abrasive wheels, and ensuring these are used correctly and safely is of paramount importance. Applications range from hand grinding to disc cutting. They can be used at all stages of a work process, for making preliminary cuts and scores in materials, or for fine polishing and finishing.
Different wheels will have different properties and characteristics suitable for particular tasks. They also have different weaknesses and can pose different risks and hazards in handling and use. For this reason, it’s important.
Asbestos is probably the most dangerous building material ever used. Every year, thousands of people fall ill and die because of exposure to asbestos. It was widely used by the construction industry right up until the year 2000.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 apply to employers, employees, self-employed persons, and duty holders and cover all work with asbestos-containing materials. Regulation 10 of CAR states that every employer must ensure that adequate information, instruction, and training are given to employees who are liable to be exposed to asbestos. This includes maintenance workers and others who may come into contact with or disturb asbestos.
